I have been a Photojournalist for newspapers and photography agencies in Venice Italy for over 20 years, and I'm currently living and working in Orlando Florida, returning to Italy each year to photograph celebrities in the film industry at the Venice Film Festival.
I have years of experience with event photography, having photographed basketball and other sports games, museum openings, etc in the Venice Italy region.

My wife, Melody Matheny, offers lovely photo retouching services. She can enhance my photography using color correcting and lighting techniques, restoration techniques on existing photos, and theming techniques to bring out the drama of each and every photo.
